ragi biscuits in oven /ragi flour cookies (finger millet)

Thank god these millets are tiny and this becomes a major disadvantage that it cannot be processed and indirectly all the nutritional goodness are passed on to us.Its a born again kind of thing for millets because it was a perfect staple food for our ancestors in general which faded away during a period of time and overtaken by polished varieties of grains.Because of health awareness nowadays millets have gained momentum and as might be expected its versatility is well understood and experienced more now.Instead of vanilla essence you can use cardamom powder and you can use regular sugar as I have used light brown sugar.While forming the dough you can sprinkle some milk if it doesn’t come together.Its always hard to roll the dough normally so spread some flour dusting so that you can roll it easily.As I always say the baking time differs from oven to oven so adjust accordingly and bake.The butter should be cold enough so that we can mix up with hands to bread crumb texture if the butter is too soft it’s not going to work.
